Cole Trickle is a young racer from Eagle Rock, California, with years of experience in open-wheel racing, winning championships in the United States Auto Club (USAC). Originally setting his sights on the Indianapolis 500, Cole realizes that "To win in Indy I'd need a great car, but stock cars are all the same". He is recruited by Chevrolet dealership tycoon Tim Daland to race for his team in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. Daland brings former crew chief and car builder Harry Hogge, who left NASCAR to avoid investigation of the death of Buddy Bretherton, out of retirement to lead Cole's pit crew. After Cole sets a fast time in a private test at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Hogge builds him a new Chevrolet Lumina.

Hungarian Summary:

Az ifjú Cole régi vágya teljesül, amikor Forma-1-es versenyző lesz. Kezdeti sikertelenségek után az élre tör, s úgy tűnik, legveszélyesebb riválisa, Rowdy sem akadályozhatja meg, hogy ő legyen a bajnok. Ekkor azonban mindketten súlyos balesetet szenvednek. A kórházban barátokká válnak. Rowdy megtudja, hogy soha többé nem versenyezhet, és Cole számára is nehéz a visszatérés, amelyre a daytonai futam kínál lehetőséget...
